The Austrade funded pilot program enabled us to support tourism operators in 10 destinations around Australia become more accessible.
The project allowed us to analyse the state of the market, influence broad change, and demonstrate an approach which can then be widely adopted by tourism providers of all kinds.
Eleven tourism businesses acted as accessible tourism champions for the project. Champions offer examples and advice for other tourism operators wanting to become more accessible. Learn more about the Project Champions at Austrade.
